Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
  • 1 cup fruit juice (such as berry, mango, pineapple, or citrus)
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar), adjusted to taste
  • Fresh fruit pieces (optional, such as raspberries, blueberries, mango, or citrus segments)

Instructions

  1. Bloom the Gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin powder over about 1/4 cup of cold fruit juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to fully absorb the liquid and soften.
  2. Warm the Liquid: Gently heat the remaining fruit juice in a saucepan until warm but not boiling, ensuring the flavor stays fresh and the gelatin can dissolve neatly.
  3. Combine Gelatin and Juice: Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm juice until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly without letting it start to set.
  4. Mix Greek Yogurt: Fold the Greek yogurt and sweetener into the gelatin mixture gently to maintain the yogurt’s creamy texture without breaking it down.
  5. Add Fresh Fruit and Chill: Pour the combined mixture into serving dishes or molds. Add fresh fruit if desired, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the jello is firmly set.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Heat fruit juice only until warm to preserve freshness and gelatin quality.
  • Sweeten gradually, adjusting after mixing so you avoid making it too sweet.
  • Chill thoroughly to get the perfect jiggly consistency.
  • Add fresh fruit just before chilling to keep it firm and vibrant.
